"The Chalet Hotel Sonneck in Lech is a great value way of exploring some of the best skiing in Austria. The wood panelled lounge has a cosy atmosphere, with an open fireplace and there is a good bar, with cheaper drinks that other establishments in this luxury resort .The Chalet Hotel Sonneck also has a spa with a sauna and a swimming pool in the basement. Access to the lifts couldn’t be easier, as the ski bus to the slopes stops outside the chalet and whisks you straight to the lifts. "

Chalet Sonneck, Lech, Austria

The Chalet Hotel Sonneck occupies one half of a beautiful traditional style building, situated at the northern edge of Lech, in the Stubenbach part of the resort, and offering well fitted bedrooms, all with en suite facilities, and many with balcony or terrace. There is a lovely wood-panelled dining-room, with spectacular views over the village and surrounding peaks, fronted by the superb sun-terrace – a favourite spot for watching the sun go down, with your choice of apres ski drink.

The atmospheric, candle-lit bar, with its old wooden beams, offers the best value in town, and is run exclusively for guests, making it a lovely spot for a few après ski drinks or an after-dinner party and you can also relax in the spacious lounge area.

Access to the main lifts and resort centre about 1500m away is exceptionally easy. A free daytime bus service runs virtually from the chalet door every 20 minutes until 7.20pm, after which the ‘James’ taxi/bus runs every 30 minutes at a flat rate of around £3 per person.

Overall

We arrived in a white out which dumped about 3ft of fresh powder for our amazing week in Lech. The chalet is basic and the pillows need to be replaced but everything very clean and the staff are excellent. The sauna and pool relived the hard days on the piste and breakfast and dinner were great and there was a wide variety to cater for all tastes. Everyone from the chefs to the hostess to the bartenders were chatty and very friendly and helpful with suggestions for dinner and drinks out.
We are already considering going back to Lech next year!

When I retire i'm going finish my knees off here in Lech. The restaurant at the top of the chairlift in Zug I think might have the best views of any restaurant I've been to. The best thing about Lech though is access to powder... there's so much space there's no way everyone can track out Lech after a dump of snow. I know some hidden spots but I'm not telling you where they are :-)
It's a chilled out resort with more chatting rather than jumping and shouting. As all Austrian resorts, service is fantastic and you're surrounded by Austrian culture. If you have a few quid then luxury hotels are in abundance in Lech. If you want something affordable the Sonneck just outside Lech or chalet hotel Mont Fort. The Alberg is huge ski area, if you want to let off some steam then the steep stuff in St Anton way... I can't wait to go back.
